Hello. I am trying to develop fresh ideas for the future of multimedia.
Most of the major multimedia products currently being released seem to
follow the sure-thing strategy: encyclopedias, phone books, games...
Well, I want to try something totally different, but I am not sure how
people will react. If you could please fill out the following brief
questions and return them, I will be glad to send you a free selection of
poetry (just do not change the line below). Thanks for your help. Wish
me luck...

music.
We are working with prominent American poets and musicians to create a
true multimedia experience. In one package, we will combine:
A BOOK of poems by seven top poets
A CD of poetry and ambient music combined by
professional DJ's, which will double as a
CD-ROM containing informative interviews with the
poets and musicians
AND video clips of the authors and
musicians creating the sounds
AND a screen saver that displays
patterns and words as the soundtrack plays
